Inside the incident
The only confirmed information is the March 19, 2026 listing by payload. The group claims internal files were taken during a ransomware operation. No independent confirmation of the claim has been reported, and details such as the date of the intrusion, the method of access, the quantity of data, or any ransom demand remain undisclosed.

Payload is a ransomware group that maintains a leak site where it lists organizations it claims to have targeted. The listing of Notaría 89 constitutes the group’s assertion that data was obtained; no additional statements or evidence from the group about this specific case have been made public.
About Notaría 89
Notaría 89 operates in the State of Mexico under Licenciado Luis Octavio Hermoso y Colín. It provides notarial services for real estate transactions, including purchase contracts, mortgages, powers of attorney, the formation of companies, testaments, and other instruments required for property transfers and legal formalities. Mexican notary offices are legally authorized to authenticate such documents and retain records of the acts they perform.
What data was at risk
The listing refers only to “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” The precise categories of information contained in those files have not been disclosed. Organizations of this type routinely hold copies of identification documents, property deeds, contract details, and personal data required to complete notarized acts, but the exact contents involved here remain unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Individuals whose records appear in notarial files may face risks of identity misuse or targeted fraud if the material is published or sold. For the organization, exposure of client documentation can affect ongoing legal proceedings and professional obligations under Mexican data-protection rules. Both the scale of any impact and whether the files have been further distributed are currently unknown.
What to do if you're exposed
Monitor bank and credit accounts for unusual activity and consider placing fraud alerts with relevant Mexican financial institutions. Review any recent property or legal transactions for signs of unauthorized changes.

Publicly posted by payload — unverified claim, pending independent verification
Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised.
